The Impact of Temporary Immigrant Workforce Growth on Employee Verification Policies in the United States.
The U.S. Department of Labor admits temporary immigrant workers to address labor shortages in local markets. Yet, do elected officials make it less difficult for some immigrants than others to secure employment in a state? Using U.S. temporary immigrant labor admissions data between 2006 and 2014, I...

Yet, do elected officials make it less difficult for some immigrants than others to secure employment in a state? Using U.S. temporary immigrant labor admissions data between 2006 and 2014, I examine the extent to which growth rates of main foreign-born subgroups influence E-Verify policies that require employers to authenticate the legal immigration status of employees. I find that state policymakers are less likely to enact E-Verify policies in response to the growth of immigrants who work in specialty occupations (H-1b visas). In contrast, the growth of immigrants working in nonspecialty occupations (H-2a and H-2b visas) increases the likelihood of enacting E-Verify policies over time. The results suggest that policymakers release strict rules for employment only for highly educated immigrants who work in specialty occupations that offer higher paying salaries and career advancement opportunities. Disaggregating a monolithic foreign-born population indicator into more specific class components provides an important contribution to public policy studies. Scholars will likely overlook the contrasting effects of specialty and nonspecialty immigrant workforce growth on policy decisions relating to immigrant employment. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
